Red carpet hairstyles: 2012 vanity fair party

"Hollywood's girl-next-door, Selena Gomez, looked stunning with her bob and natural waves. Styled for smoothness this gorgeous cut frames her face perfectly and really helps to draw attention to her deep brown eyes."

"Wow! January looks smoking hot with her baby blonde bob re-styled in Marcel waves. Teamed with red lips, she looks every inch the femme fatale." 

"An updo teamed with a high neck-lined dress could have looked very school mistress, but Elizabeth looks more "sexy secretary" with her softly sculpted quiff. Full marks!" 

"Sofia Veraga's rich golden blonde tones combined with her cascading waves make for the ultimate red carpet look. When recreating this look be sure to use a good quality paddle brush to eliminate frizz and help give you Sofia's sleek, smooth finish."

"Kate's hair always looks stunning. Her hair here in particular looks shiny and healthy, and the almond-brown highlights enhance her beautiful yet subtle waves."

"I can definitely see Kate's aim here; slightly dishevelled waves with plenty of volume but to get this look to work without it looking messy, hair needs to look nourished and healthy which Kate's just doesn't - remember a deep conditioning treatment next time Kate and I'll be your biggest fan."

"Because Claire's' coral pink dress is stunning, she gets away with this rather laidback hairstyle. To dress the hair up a bit more, I'd bring the parting down lower and style in a side swept fringe. Those wispy bits are making me just want to dive in the picture and brush!" 

"I love Lily's up-do here; it's simple and understated and doesn't distract from what's clearly the main focus here - her dress.  Such a well put-together up-do which looks effortlessly chic. "

"Queen of everything glamour, Victoria looked absolutely stunning at this year's Vanity Fair Party. Messy updos are set to be a big trend this year which is fantastic as they couldn't be easier to style. There are endless techniques that can be used to personalize your style."

"I love shiny hair; it can make or break a look. Paula has just gone a little over the top though, and while it makes the curls look more defined, her roots look heavy and greasy when she could have achieved some fabulous volume."

"Fresh off the catwalk, ponytails are set to be a huge trend this season. Rosie's sleek swept back locks are simple to achieve yet look ultra feminine and glamorous."

"Maybe it's because of her sharp, stunning features but Diane could shave off her hair and still look fabulous! Her sporty high ponytail takes the focus away from the face and all on her risque, slashed-to-the-navel dress." 

"Now it's common knowledge Joan wears a wig but there's no excuse in it looking like one! Wigs have come a long way now and there's a multitude of relaistic looking ones that a rich lady such as Joan has no qualms in investing in. It's too heavy and buly looking and too over-styled. The mahogany hue with slices of caramel throughout the front really suits her complexion though!"
